Step 1: Open Your Profile Settings


Log into your Formester account. Click your profile icon at the top right and open Profile Settings. This is where you manage your account security.

Step 5: Enter the Verification Code


Copy the code from your authenticator app and paste it into Formester. This confirms that your device is linked to your account.

Formester provides backup codes in case you lose access to your authentication device. Download these codes and save them on your computer. Each backup code expires after you use it once.


Step 7: Test the Login


Log out of your account and log back in. After entering your email and password, Formester will ask for the code from your authenticator app. Type the code to access your account.
